The St. Louis IX Art Society is ushering in a new springtime of sacred art and beauty in South Louisiana, and we accomplish this mission by

  • hosting showcase, lecture, and parish mission chamber concert events,

  • commissioning our society artists to create original sacred art for under-resourced Catholic parishes and schools,

  • publishing the Joie de Vivre journal of Catholic art, culture, and letters for South Louisiana, and

  • preserving, beautifying, and creating Catholic churches and schools through Sainte-Chapelle Studios, our fully-licensed sacred architecture firm.

For centuries, Catholic patrons have enabled artists to create the world's most enduring works, and with your help, we can facilitate a revitalization of Catholic culture through sacred art and beauty.

Current, our passionate team of artists, theologians, authors, and architect, are

  • editing and designing the Spring 2024 issue of Joie de Vivre,

  • working on various architectural and design projects for local Catholic parishes and schools through Sainte-Chapelle Studios,

  • preparing for a Lenten Mission Chamber Concerts in the Diocese of Baton Rouge, and

  • creating a prayer room for Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic School in Baton Rouge, LA, and an original piece of sacred art for Our Lady of the Angels Hospital in Bogalusa, LA.

We hope to continue this work for years to come; however, we can only do so with your support! Donations are tax deductible. Thank you for your generosity.
